Two minds

[Guest guest]

Namaste IMHO,

 

One of the main problems in discussion and thinking, is the fact that

we confuse our two minds. The lower mind is always associated with the

body and its desires. The higher intellect is associated with the ego

and a search for truth. So one can say that this is all illusion and

never happened, which is the truth; but the lower mind's experience is

different to it, all is real. This is what happens when people won't

let go of a Guru or God figure, it is the lower mind still keeping the

higher intellect in chains to fear and senses. This is the cause of

much argumentation, especially on so called non dual sites, where many

don't appreciate this. Resulting in talking much apples and oranges.

One has to accept the lower mind for what it is, an animal with

desires and senses in the extreme, and love it like a pet. But don't

believe it............ONS...Tony.

Namaste,

 

This is made the more difficult by govts, lobbyists, the medical

business and food and drug agencies, allowing companies to add

pernicious additives to food that encourage obesity and addiction to

the lower mind.

So it is all the more difficult to wean people of addictions which

encourage the senses. This still can be done by, right eating and

using natural products when possible. So there can be an integration

of the minds in purpose to realisation..........ONS...Tony.
